The Fornax Galaxy Cluster

The Fornax Galaxy Cluster: A group of over 15 galaxies located on the Fornax/Eridanus border, not far from the giant barred spiral galaxy NGC-1365. This cluster is anchored by two giant elliptical galaxies, NGCs 1399 and 1404. This cluster lies at a distance of 62 million light years from Earth, and is the second most massive galaxy cluster within 100 million light years of Earth, after the considerably larger Virgo Cluster.
